Out of the Blue

Once more, a year is reaching its last hours. 2005 contains many 'firsts' which have most affected and moulded me. As I look back, I'm thankful to my awesome God.. Jan - Tsunami Booklet distribution in campuses. Feb - Start of Republic Poly ministry Mar - bought a new cupboard for my room:) Apr - First time on mission trip to Mongolia, Christopher passes away. First mission trip for RP students. May - graduated from New Staff Training! CSU staff conference Sept- SMU Vision Tea, first TP/RP chalet Nov - finally got an oven, start of Irene's Confectionary hee.. Dec - First family trip to Malacca Here's my yr-end ministry newsletter.. ps: the pic of the sky was taken while on the plane back home from CSU. It reminds me of God's wonder and greatness.. it is with this thought that I face 2006. Though at times anxious about the future, I'm assured that He is bigger and more than able to carry me through it. Blessed 2006!

Last weekend, I went to Malacca with my family to attend my cousin's wedding. This was the first time I've gone overseas with my family. Actually, the week before had been a very tiring week of cold war between me and my Dad over some very trivial misunderstanding. Though I was reluctant to go at first, I must say I'm glad I went. It was a precious time of getting to know my relatives more. I had fun too taking pics of my uncles, aunties, and cousins.

What a night! I went to an evangelistic concert "Coming Home" (at Bethesda Cathedral) with my aunt tonight. I was so surprised that she readily agreed to come with me when I called her this morning. She enjoyed the musical, and could even relate well with the characters. There was an altar call and though she did not raise her hand, I sensed that she was receptive. After that, we talked about sin, confession and Jesus. While she has not received Jesus into her life, I know that tonight was a breakthrough, praise God! I really want to kick myself for not having a camera with me just now. Not only did I miss taking a pic with my aunt, I missed the beautiful stage shots and also that with one of RP guys who was in the choir! Sigh.. but really I thank God for the opportunity to share the gospel with my aunt in this way.
